The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Skenth: The known world - By Viking

Map

Created in: Photoshop

Review
From the initial inception of this piece it was clear that it was going to be something really special. Months of labor have succeeded in bringing to life the potential that was there from the beginning. Skenth is a very fine example of a fantasy map, and a welcome edition to our Cartographers Choice section. Exceptional work Viking.
